May I ask how do picking seats work? Is it automatic within the section you buy? I'm guessing the VIP section is the judges side? I am looking at buying the €50 tickets but it's bringing me straight to the checkout without picking seats...
I'm sorry I don't understand French

You can't pick seats, maybe it's different in the VIP section but for the plebeians it's first arrived first served apparently !
Don't hesitate if you have other questions, for once I can be one who helps someone on this forum x')

Thank you! Ended up splashing out on the VIP tickets after all. They are also first come first served it seems, so I'll try to be there in good time.

There is no package yet, is there?

No, I believe packages should be on sale by Wednesday

 

[Ruthypegs]

Not that I can see - there's some sort of "VIP" deal, but I can't find what it includes. It's a real pity that Kevin won't be there, but I've booked for Europeans, hoping that I'll catch him there instead....

VIP for the Friday/Saturday is just the seats on the judges side as far as I can see, but on Sunday includes food or a buffet

also looking forward to Camden and Landry Le May. What a great line-up!

Good luck to all skaters and teams. I hope the fans can enjoy it.
